In full: Lovely country route. Slick organisation. Excellent xempro pacers. Just about theperfect half marathon. Even mile markers were absolutely spot on. People comment about cost but this is a fully closed road race that also takes over part of a leisure centre. It isn't going to be cheap. Date of review: March 16, 2015

In short: Superb organisation, great course and lovely atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed this event. It was great to run on local roads that were closed to traffic. Queues for bag drops were my only complaintDate of review: March 15, 2015

In short: Good organisation, nice route.In full: Bag drop was fine early on (when I needed it) but the queues got pretty big nearer the start time (though no worse than The Great South Run). Apart from that everything went off smoothly.Date of review: March 12, 2015

In short: Smashing!In full: I live nearby so run parts of the route regularly, and it was great to run it with thousands of others. This was the first time I didn't have to queue for a urinal! There were hundreds! On the flip side, the queue for Bag Drop was terrible. I ended up leaving my bag with a friend. I will be doing it again, mostly because I smashed my PB! Pretty flat, and lots of supportive crowds.Date of review: March 11, 2015

In short: Great Sunday morning countryside run with 3000 othersIn full: Second year of this event - and my second year running. Almost a different race: the rough edges on the start were worked out. The route felt much more rural than last year, but was better overall. As others have said, more support would be great, but there were 4ish bands en-route that did add to the atmosphere.If my legs didn't ache so much still from a PB, I would be signing up for next year!Date of review: March 11, 2015
